#AmiQWK 2.2
2 messages in this thread
Greetings, Richard.
I had been looking for an O/L reader for a while, and someone had
suggested, first Q-Blue, then someone else recommended AmiQWK(the last
version). I stumbled across the thread regarding QWK.RIP.I downloaded
AmiQWK2.2 yesterday. It took a while to get it configured properly, but I
used it last nighton a Wildcat BBS I frequent. Whew, I couldn't believe
the size of the packet, there were messages from last December.
I hope you won't mind answering a couple of questions, Richard (this is
only because the author is not readily available, and I'm Internet
illiterate). Does the BBS keep track of which files I've already read or
is that up to AmiQWK, since I got this huge packet on my first outing I'd
hate to get any repeats. Also regarding new files, does AmiQWK just
displays the names? And how would I go about D/Ling any? Is there a way
with AmiQWK, or do I do it live? I'd appreciate your help, and I'll be
sending Mr. Dawson his fee shortly.
Your BBS should set your last message read so that the next time you have
a packet made up, the system will only include messages you haven't read.
Your best bet is to ask the sysop of the board to make sure.
As far as new files, I don't think that Amiqwk handles any cataloging of
files on a system like Autopilot does here, unless your board has some
feature that lets you create a packet of files on the board. The board I
use AmiQwk on doesn't have anything like that, but there is a large myriad
of BBS software and I'm not familiar with too many of them. Even if you
can create a packet of file titles and descriptions (I'm assuming yours
does since you asked the question) you would still have to download them
manually.
